New PREDATOR Movie in the works from 10 Cloverfield Lane Director!

Would be interesting what you could do with him, moving through the trees etc., with the right talent behind it though.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see some CGI Predator, but on the whole I imagine using a suit will be cheaper - and quicker - than going full CGI.

It depends on what they want it to do. Upgrade could've been practical, but Black's directing style would've made that prohibitively expensive.

If it's a regular Predator doing regular Predator things, mix of practical and cg are the likely options.

Man in a suit technology was used originally because it's cheap and efficient, and that has not significantly changed in 34 years for something like the Predator. If it looks like a guy in a suit, just put a guy in a suit.

Ditto

I imagine a low budget dictates they cannot really do any super shenanigans... which is actually beneficial


gimme some practical Pred roaring in the MC's face

What's nice is a period piece filming in gorgeous Alberta Canada likely means not much else in the film would require CG.



And if they take this to the not-appearing-to-be-a-Predator-film hilt in the terms of disguising the creature as a ghostly supernatural entity (camouflage) until perhaps a short reveal at the end, I could see that minimal usage temper the CG cost and allow them to go full CG if Dan wanted to. But who knows what the budget will allow, what circustances Aison's script calls for, and what Trachtenberg's vision is requiring.

I'd imagine if we get any CG Predator it'll be for its appearances while cloaked and/or leaping or climbing in a way that a human performer couldn't, a la AVPR. But if there's any at all it'll be used sparingly, with a practical Predator being what we'll see 99% of the time.

Make the vision look more like this again.

100% - other than the face/mouth design, this has been my main complaint.

You know, the best thing about those vision modes is that he'll always know who farted.

I bet Predators get a kick out of making fart jokes.

People fart a lot. Now we know why they are such good hunters. But the Xeno... do xenofarts exist?

Knowing that we will have a more ancient predator, perfect excuse to bring those types of vision back !
